Chapter 23 King Shang is always thinking of you

The old housekeeper also looked surprised: "So fast?"

Every four months, Eunuch Qian would come to Taihe City, usually every fifteen years.

There were still a few days until the fifteenth day, and the old housekeeper did not expect Eunuch Qian to come so soon.

Without further delay, the two locked the warehouse and headed outside.

At this time, there was a fair-haired father-in-law standing in the reception room of the palace. Zicui was pouring tea for him.

The father-in-law didn't know whether it was because he was embarrassed to sit down because the master was not there or because he disliked the bare buttocks of the wooden chair. In short, he just looked up and down the room with his hands folded and turned a deaf ear to other people's invitations to sit down.

You need to have a complete routine, he sighed while looking around.

"The fifth prince has great ambitions and is dedicated to serving the people, but he has made the people rich but suffered for himself. Look at this house, which has been empty for five years. This kind of open-mindedness is really admirable."

"My father-in-law appreciates it if I have money. Master's efforts are not in vain."

The old housekeeper responded with a smile.

Only then did Eunuch Qian turn around, and then he saw the strange woman behind the old housekeeper.

He didn't bother to exchange greetings with the old housekeeper, and only bowed to Li Yewu: "Old slave, I'd like to meet my wife."

Li Yewu was a little flattered.

On the way here, the old housekeeper said that this Eunuch Qian was a popular person around His Majesty. He helped His Majesty take care of his private property and handled an unimaginable amount of money every day.

In addition, Eunuch Qian would go south to deliver money to his master every quarter, which was considered an honor for His Majesty.

Can Li Yewu not be surprised that such a famous person with an important position would salute an unknown person like her?

In serious house fights, her situation is at best considered a maid or a concubine, and she is not qualified to meet guests, let alone a eunuch who is favored by His Majesty.

Therefore, Li Yewu wisely avoided Eunuch Qian's gift.

"You are too polite. How dare my little girl accept such a great gift from you."

Li Yewu once again showed the harmless expression he had when facing Cui Fuyin yesterday.

The old housekeeper and all the servants saw her behavior, but said nothing.

The little madam is like this...well, it's quite good.

I guess this is the ability she developed during her career as a flower seller to talk to people and tell ghosts.

This kind of ability may not be popular outside, but at least it is very useful in the royal family.

Eunuch Qian doesn't care about her true face. Anyway, they only interact with each other four times a year at most. As long as they maintain the superficial friendship, as for the matter of deep friendship... leave it to the capable housekeeper who meets her all year round.

It's not his turn to worry.

So Eunuch Qian just smiled faintly, stretched out his orchid finger and pointed outwards.

"This time I not only sent the fifth prince's money, but I was also entrusted by the fifth prince to give your wife some things you like."

Li Yewu was a little surprised: "Wha...what?"

Xiao Jiuxi gave her something?

real or fake?

Did she read the book too quickly and missed any key points? Why is there this link?

Li Yewu was puzzled.

Seeing Li Yewu's confused expression, Eunuch Qian smiled.

"The Fifth Prince pities you for being lovesick and homesick."

"Uh..." Li Yewu felt a little guilty.

She said she didn't. Will Xiao Jiuxi take the things back?

However, after giving it away, how can it be returned.

Li Yewu secretly looked towards the courtyard.

I saw six large boxes placed in the courtyard.

This wooden box looks heavy and strong at first glance, and I don't know what's inside.

If there is gold in the box, then she is rich! There are at least tens of thousands of taels of gold, which is enough for infrastructure!

It seems that God has opened his eyes!

Li Yewu suppressed her inner excitement and kindly invited Eunuch Qian to stay for one night. She also had a gift in return for the fifth prince, so she had to ask Eunuch Qian to deliver it to her.

Eunuch Qian had no doubt that he agreed.

"Anyway, I arrived two days early. It doesn't hurt to hang out here for a while. Madam can just be ready to call me at any time."

"You have money to work for, father-in-law!"

Li Yewu excitedly sent people to put the boxes into the warehouse, and then began to take stock of the things to be sent to the imperial capital.

Speaking of Dachu, there are two ways to transport freight. One is the land route, which mainly relies on horse caravans to transport goods. However, this method is very labor-intensive, takes a long time, and has to deal with various green forest heroes.

Another way is by water.

The waterway is fast, can transport a large amount, and there are basically no bandits.

However, in Dachu, waterways belong to the government, and ordinary people are not qualified to transport goods by waterways except for entry and exit needs.

Because cargo ships are very important strategic materials, only government officials have them.

However, just because ordinary people can’t use it doesn’t mean that Li Yewu can’t use it!

She was worried about how to launder money, but now she had a solution.

She only needs to transport more than a hundred sheep and "precious medicinal herbs" to the capital, and make it look like she got the money to pay off her debts through Xiao Jiuxi's business, and then she can use the money in the warehouse smoothly.

Of course, this is only part of it, the other part is these six treasure chests.

She only had to say that the gold, silver and jewelry were Xiao Jiuxi's private money and were delivered by Qian's father-in-law, so that no one would doubt the origin of her money.

She did what she said, and while Eunuch Qian was resting in the palace, Li Yewu quickly brewed medicinal ingredients and counted the sheep.

Of course, the so-called brewing of medicinal materials was only for the servants in the house.

Although Li Yewu pretended to trust them, it was actually a lie.

Of course, not everyone has a suspicious identity. In fact, those who left did have innocent identities, but those who stayed had problems.

The people in Taihe City are so obviously lazy and lazy that they only stay here when faced with life and death issues.

As for those who stayed, except for a few who really did it for their dreams, most of the rest had unfinished tasks.

Of course, Li Yewu didn't tell anyone else about this guess. After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. If she cleans all the eyeliner, it will be difficult to follow the clues in the future.

So she decided to act, and if she had the chance, she could pull out the hidden stakes buried in Prince Zhang's Mansion overnight!

Before Eunuch Qian left, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

Speaking of official cargo ships, there are three types, one is used by His Majesty for patrols, the second is used to transport large amounts of tribute items, and the third is used to provide assistance to important figures.

Eunuch Qian’s boat falls into the latter category.

He was going to inspect the property and send money to the prince and princess, so the boat was indispensable.

But today, the deck of his beloved boat was lined with more than a hundred sheep.

They screamed one after another, and their sheep dung dropped one after another.

Eunuch Qian is not feeling well.

Li Yewu smiled the sweetest: "Your Majesty asked you to help transport some sheep. He wanted to send them to His Majesty, and he also asked me to prepare some medicinal materials. After all, it will be hard for you to help deliver them."

"..." Eunuch Qian twitched his lips but couldn't smile.
